There is nothing like getting the support of your sibling, especially when your sibling is Pedro Pascal. For Lux Pascal, the Chilean actor and transgender activist, walking Matthieu Blazy’s inaugural ready-to-wear show was her first time walking for the brand. (And what a time it was!) Among the first to greet her after she left the runway was Pedro (and Margot Robbie, who gave her a big hug), who had been watching from the front row, smiling widely. “Getting a hug from him afterward was the best gift ever,” she said.
Backstage after the show, she searched for the right words to describe it, landing on a French one: mon cœur — “my heart.” “That’s what this felt like,” she told The Cut. “The collection was about the earth, blood, culture, diversity. It’s revolutionary but not in a sweet way — in a powerful, human way,” she said.
“Maybe I was chosen because there’s a part of me that’s innovative,” she added. “Fashion can be so political. This show brought an energy of change, of hope, of openness.”
